I. Production Line Overview
The agricultural drone production line is a specialized manufacturing system designed for agricultural applications including crop protection, seeding, fertilization, and surveying. It encompasses the entire process from component fabrication to final assembly and testing. Modern production lines are evolving toward automation and intelligence, incorporating industrial robots, intelligent inspection systems, and advanced technologies to enhance efficiency and quality.
II. Core Manufacturing Processes
1. Design and R&D Phase
- Requirement Analysis: Define agricultural application scenarios (crop protection, seeding, surveying, etc.), payload capacity, flight endurance, and spraying precision specifications
- Structural Design: Airframe configuration (multi-rotor/fixed-wing), material selection (carbon fiber, aluminum alloys, and other lightweight materials)
- System Integration: Flight control systems, navigation systems, communication systems, power systems, and spraying system integration
2. Component Manufacturing
- Airframe Fabrication: Carbon fiber composite or aluminum alloy cutting, drilling, and forming (utilizing CNC machining, 3D printing, and other technologies)
- Propulsion Systems: Brushless motors, electronic speed controllers (ESCs), and propeller production and pairing
- Flight Control Systems: Flight control boards and sensors (GPS, barometers, gyroscopes) integration
- Agricultural Systems: Chemical tanks/seed hoppers, water pumps, nozzles, flow meters, and other agriculture-specific component manufacturing
3. Assembly and Calibration
- Airframe Assembly: Arm tubes, center plates, and landing gear connection
- Propulsion System Installation: Motor, ESC, and propeller installation, wiring soldering and routing
- Flight Control Integration: Flight control board installation, sensor calibration, and remote controller binding
- Agricultural System Assembly: Chemical tank mounting, pipeline connection, and nozzle calibration
4. System Debugging and Testing
- Static Testing: Circuit inspection, voltage testing, and signal connectivity verification
- Ground Calibration: Motor rotation calibration, remote controller channel configuration, and spraying system flow testing
- Flight Testing: Hover stability, route navigation, payload flight, wind resistance, and spraying uniformity testing
5. Quality Inspection and Packaging
- Final Product Inspection: Appearance inspection, function verification, and flight performance final confirmation
- Waterproof and Dustproof Testing: Ensuring adaptability to harsh agricultural environments
- Packaging and Shipment: Shock-proof packaging, accessory list verification, and manual inclusion
